I don't like being misinterpreted.

I feel like this had to have been made by someone who doesn't watch superhero TV shows or movies. I'm watching X-Men right now and it's the complete opposite of this.

Did you reply to the right person? I'm not sure how your comment is relevant to mine. I'm well aware of why public transit is poorly funded and developed.

I hope you're right.

I have all kinds of cable extensions specifically to reduce my reliance on BT. Wired bedside headphones and keyboard are the best

It wasn't intentional, FFS. I hate this place so much.

Signal isn't an alternative to Discord. I use both and they're used very differently. Group movie watching for example is pretty easy on Discord.

Digg had users and people jumped ship to Reddit because it was better.

And Dollar General is part of the problem, constantly selling garbage-tier products that reek of planned obsolescence. Their entire business model relies on predatory practices that screw over the poorer US consumers they speak of.

Some good news: Dollar General's stock price has been tanking hard since around the end of 2022.

Edit: Also thanks OP for providing a paywall-free link, very much appreciated. I clicked the original link and thought "damnit, if only OP posted a link witho--oooooh, OP did!".

She did a good job but this really made me appreciate how unique Chester Bennington's voice was.

Edit: I take it back. She's a Scientologist. Gross.

The vast majority of the time a woman is murdered, it's at the hands of a man. Yes.

"Although women comprise more than half the U.S. population, they committed only 14.7% of the homicides noted during the study interval. More than twice as many women were shot and killed by their husband or intimate acquaintance than were murdered by strangers using guns, knives, or any other means."

I'm going to bed but there's countless other studies that show the same trend not just in the USA but in countries across the world. This paper was published in '92 and for those who doubt its legitimacy based on its age, I recommend looking up modern papers on this.

Edit: One last thing before I go to sleep. I'm not making these comments because I want to make men feel bad, or that I think the average guy on Lemmy reading this is a murderer or potential murdered. I'm saying this because as men, we need to cut the bullshit and stop acting like we don't hear other men casually talk about domestic violence, either "jokingly" or dead serious, or that we don't see other men engaging in verbal or physical abuse against women. As a POC, I feel pretty much the same way about racism-- I don't think the average white person is some KKK member but please for the love of god white folks, if you hear someone (especially your friends/family) saying/doing some racist shit, call it out!

Lotta downvotes but no responses to the study I provided. Not at all surprised. Until men are willing to simply acknowledge the existence of this problem, we've got a long way to go. Leftists on Lemmy definitely showing their true colors and it's not surprising, so many leftist spaces get ruined by sexist men who want a safe space where they can discuss racism, transphobia, homophobia but sexism... Nope.

He's so weirdly childish.

 

There's a certain community there that I'd like to filter because a) I find the content/discussions to just be generally awful circlejerky nonsense and b) it's polluting the "All" section that I like to browse.

RIP Estelle Harris and Jerry Stiller

 

I love Seinfeld the show, but his stand-up comedy not so much.... but this bit, I'll admit it's quite funny/relatable.

 

Jerry is not pleased.
